'Tis the Season to be Effusive
Yes, it's recommendation time for jobs. I've already gone through a few rounds of recommendations for graduate schools, and now we have the recommendation requests coming in for folks who've been out a year or two. Luckily I am kind of cranky, and the students who ask for recommendations in the first place are pretty good. Then, of course, I explain that I keep them on disk and all they have to do until they can ask several former employers for letters and don't need me any more (*sob*sob*) all they need to do is email me and I can revise a paragraph or two and drop the new and improved letter in the mail. The fun part is that I demand an updated resume, so it's an illuminating way to keep up with them.
